Generac Generator Installation in Vidor, TX

What's included in every install

• Sizing and load calculation – we count your AC units and tonnage, electric water heater, range, dryer, well or pool pump, then match a Generac Guardian from 14 to 26 kW. No guessing and no paying for more generator than you need.
• Generator pad – a level concrete or composite pad set to Generac's clearance rules from windows, doors and your meter.
• Automatic transfer switch – senses an outage, starts the generator and switches your house over, then switches back when utility power returns.
• Natural gas or propane hookup – up to 20 ft of gas line and 20 ft of electrical run included; longer runs are $30/ft.
• Permits and inspections – we tell you what your address needs and coordinate the paperwork and inspection scheduling.
• Startup and walkthrough – we fire it up, run a test, set the weekly exercise cycle and show you how it works and what the lights mean.

Keep it ready with a monthly plan

A standby that hasn't been serviced is the one that won't start in a storm. Our maintenance plans start at $30/mo with yearly service and storm-season priority, and we service Generacs we didn't install too.

Generac installation FAQ

How much does a Generac installation cost in Vidor?

Most whole-home Generac installs we quote land between about $10,000 and $15,000 installed, depending on generator size (14 to 26 kW), how far the gas and electric runs are, and the package you pick. Our online quote tool gives you a ballpark in about 2 minutes, and we confirm the final price after a free site visit.

How long does the install take?

The work at your house usually takes 1 to 2 days. The full timeline from signed contract to a running generator is usually a few weeks, because permits, gas company scheduling and generator delivery come first.

Do I need a permit?

Most standby generator installs need permits and inspections, depending on where you live and your fuel type. We'll tell you what applies to your address and coordinate the paperwork and inspection scheduling as part of the job.

Natural gas or propane?

Either works. If you have natural gas service, we tie into it. If not, a propane tank can run the generator; tank setup is priced at the site visit.

Can I finance it?

Yes. Financing is available through the Synchrony Project Card, subject to credit approval. You can check the financing box on the quote page and we'll walk you through it.

What if I already own a portable generator?

You may not need a standby at all. Our portable hookup lets you run the essentials from your breaker panel, and if you upgrade to a standby later we credit the hookup cost.

What happens after it's installed?

A standby generator needs yearly service (oil, filters, battery and a load test) so it starts when the power goes out. Our maintenance plans start at $30/mo, and the Storm-Ready Package includes the first year free.
